Merton Council is supporting the safety pin campaign against hate crime

Merton Council is supporting the safety pin campaign which has launched on social media today.

Members of staff and councillors in the Civic Centre in Morden have joined the thousands of people across the UK who have attached plain silver safety pins to their clothes today to show solidarity against racism, and let any potential victims know the wearer is friendly.

Twitter user @Cheeahs, an American woman living in London, started the initiative following the UK’s vote to leave the EU last week.
